Chapter 28: A Different New Coach (First Guarantee)

"Cheers and worship? Unless we are dead!"

This is the slogan that appeared outside the Voltuno training base in Naples the next day, and it can be regarded as the response of Naples fans to Chen Yingxiong's previous remarks.

But now the media is no longer interested in speculating about the war between Chen Yingxiong and fans. Because there is something more worthy of their attention and tracking right now-Rhea, who has coached in Naples for more than four years, has left get out of class, so who will take his place?

The media has given many candidates: former Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini, Walter Mazzari, who led Sampdoria to the top six in the league last season, and the current Udinese coach Marino, Card Tania coach Zeng Jia and Derio Rossi, who frequently stopped classes in Lazio, of course, can’t forget Del Neri, who had a secret meeting with the leaders of the Naples club at Vicenza Airport last season...

All kinds of names have appeared in the media, fascinating.

This time, De Laurentiis showed his vigorous side.

The team must not be without a coach for a day. Since the former coach is fired, a new coach must be found as soon as possible, otherwise the team's performance will fall sharply.

On December 7, the fifteenth round of the league, Naples will welcome Siena at home. At the very least, the head coach must be selected before this game.

As a result, two days after the dismissal of Rhea, Naples officials announced that they had reached an agreement with the Sampdoria club. After paying the penalty, they got the coach Walter Mazzarri (walter_mazzarri) from the Sampdoria club. .

Without giving the media too much time for adultery, Mazzari parachuted to Naples.

The arrival of Mazzari calmed down the fans who had been protesting against Rhea's dismissal a little bit. Because Mazzari is also a powerful head coach, it is not bad for him to replace Rhea. The Naples fans feel that it is acceptable.

If they were to find some cats and dogs, they wouldn't agree.

When Mazzari served as Regina's head coach in the 2006-07 season, he just caught up with Regina's 11-point penalty for the phone call incident. As a weak team, the league was fined before the league started. With eleven points, the relegation situation suddenly worsened. But under these circumstances, Mazzari led the team to relegation. In the final round, they defeated the powerful AC Milan 2-0 at home and succeeded in relegation.

After this season, he signed a coaching contract with Sampdoria. In the 07-08 season, Sampdoria drove low and high under his leadership. In the twenty-ninth round of the league, he even reached the top four at one point, promising to qualify for the Champions League. But reluctantly, in the last few rounds of the league, the strong teams played well, and Sampdoria could only participate in the UEFA Cup with hatred. But this is still the best result of Mazzari's coaching career, especially in the second half of the league, when he achieved a good record against strong teams.

When Rhea led the team against the North's giants this season, apart from defeating Juventus 2:1 at home, the rest were all defeated. In the eighth round of the league, lost to Lazio 0:1; in the tenth round of the league, lost to AC Milan 0:1 away; in the fourteenth round of the league, lost to Inter Milan 1:2 away.

Judging from his performance against strong teams alone, Mazzari is indeed better than Real...

According to media reports, Mazzari and Naples signed a two-year contract with an annual salary of 1.5 million euros. In the Italian coaching circle, this income is not low. It can be seen that for the revival of Naples, de Laurentiis really doesn't mind how much money is spent.

Walter Mazzari sits in the office at the Fort Voltuno training base, which used to be used by Rhea. Now you can still see some traces of the Rhea era. The club staff are busy moving things. Move the things from Rhea's era, and move in the things he needs.

Mazzari is sitting in the office, not paying attention to the busy staff. He is checking the information of the players of the first team in Naples. Each player is a pile of information. Such information is piled as high as a hill next to him.

At this time the club's press officer Baldari walked in.

"Walter, there are some reporters outside who want to interview you." Baldari said to Mazari.

Mazzari raised his head from his desk, took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose: "But I don't have time now." He pointed to the large pile of things on the table. "Maybe, I might even take it home to see it."

Baldari glanced at the mountain of documents and smacked his lips. "Well, you're busy, I'll go help you refuse..."

"Make an appointment with them again." Mazzari said. It is not very good to refuse directly, and to have a good relationship with the media is the key to being able to gain a foothold in this team. Both he and the team, which is said to be full of contradictions, must be supported by the media and have a voice that tends to their own. During this period of time, the media was too messy, and various voices appeared unscrupulously. He even felt that the contradictions between Rhea and the players, the contradictions between the players, were the result of malicious hype by the media. It was not a big deal at first, and it became a big deal after the media rendered it so Up.

At the beginning of taking office, there are two things that must be done. One is to understand the various information of the players and manage the locker room. The other thing is to build a good relationship with the media and get their support.

Baldari nodded: "Okay, just do as you say, Walter."

When Baldari left, Mazzari continued to study the players' information.

In fact, most of the Naples players are familiar with him. After all, he played against each other last season, and he also studied them.

So what he focused on was the information of a few people, especially after just joining the team this season, there were conflicts with fans and the media, and then there was a controversy with the Argentine players inside the club. Player Chen Yingxiong's profile.

He looked very carefully. It not only includes the basic information of the player, but also the conflicts between the player and the fans, the grievances between the player and the media, and the discord with Lavezzi and others. What are the reasons? These things are reported in the media. , It’s easy to find it, it depends on whether you are interested.

And... he found that this was not enough, he needed to learn more. So he asked the busy staff, Luigi Febbrari (luigi_febbrari), who is also a member of the team's coaching staff: "Luigi, do you have a video of Chen Yingxiong's game? I want all of them."

"All of it?" Fibrari was taken aback for a moment, and asked back.

"Yes, all the game videos since he joined the team."

"Then I'll find it for you." Fibrari ran out.

After a while, he returned with those videotapes. Chen Yingxiong played thirteen times in the league, almost every game, the Toto Cup played twice, the UEFA Cup played six times since the qualifying round, and the Coppa Italia. Naples had a bye in the first four rounds and did not have a match until the top sixteen. As a result, they lost to Salernitana and was eliminated. Chen Yingxiong did not play.

A total of twenty-one videotapes, full of arms.

"It's all here, Walter."

Mazzari nodded in satisfaction, and motioned to put it aside so that he could continue to work on him.

These videotapes are not what he wants to watch now, but he intends to take them home to watch. He has to continue to read the text information first.

The next round of the team's league with Siena is already imminent. It was his first home game in Naples. It would be nice if he could familiarize himself with all the players before then. So he intends to follow the tactics and staffing of the Rhea era, take advantage of the opportunity of a few games to observe again, and then make his own decisions and adjustments.

Chen Yingxiong met his new head coach during training. A middle-aged man who wears glasses and looks very elegant.

Before the training began, he gathered everyone in a circle and introduced himself, or rather... an inaugural speech.

"I am very happy to join this great team. From today, we will have to work together for at least two years-of course, maybe even less. If we don't perform well, I might get out of the next league round."

His words amused some people, how can anyone say that to himself?

When the laughter stopped, he continued: "But I don't want me to be so unlucky, so I will try my best to lead everyone to victory. In this way, I will keep my job and you can also get the winning prize."

There was another burst of laughter. Napoli players in trouble rarely have a chance to smile like this. During this period, the team’s situation was not so good. They lost consecutive games and the head coach was dismissed. There were many internal conflicts within the team...

Chen Yingxiong was also laughing. He suddenly felt that the gentle-looking head coach in front of him was different from Rhea. Rhea was very strict during training. He was basically unsmiling. He heard his hasty whistle and loud rants the most. "You should be like this! How can you do that! Pull out and pull out!" He was over sixty years old, and he looked like an energetic young man.

Although we only met for the first time, I always felt that his relationship with everyone was very harmonious.

Under such a new coach, what can I expect?

The fans outside the training ground who protested against Rhea's dismissal have disappeared, and the banners have also been removed. After the new head coach was confirmed, these fans disappeared.

It seems that the Naples team can get a temporary calm.

But Chen Yingxiong knew in his heart that this was all because the fans still had illusions and a good impression of the new coach. If the team's performance is not strong... then those chaotic scenes will be repeated again.

The Italian team really has more things than the Russian team...

Today’s temporary dormancy is for everyone to be able to see better at that time, I hope everyone understands.
